The Day Of The Jackal

French underground organisation OAS attempts to assassinate President de Gaulle in 1962. OAS leader Jean Bastien-Thiry and several other members of the plot are captured. The remaining OAS leaders, now exiled in Vienna, hire a professional British assassin, who chooses the code name "Jackal". They order several bank robberies to pay his fee: $500,000. The Jackal kills the forger when the man tries to blackmail him.
